Bridesmaids are there to make you look good right?

One of the most fun things to do while planning your wedding is picking your bridal party. It’s fun to pick the people who you want to stop you from breaking down because your hair sucks and the guys who will be paying for strippers.

The groomsman all look dapper in their suits and ties but it is the girls who worry me. They are all hot. Shit. Now what? I have seen photos of wedding parties where the bridesmaids are UBER hot and the bride looks like a scoop of lard in an ice cream cone.

I already have to wear white and I am the palest person alive.

But I now understand why bridesmaids wear notoriously hideous garments. To make the bride look good. To make her look hot even.How do I resist the urge to dress them up in 80’s drag queens hand me downs? Or like in the sound of music, old drapes?

Or do I dress them pretty but get them addicted to sugar and oil?

Damn you hot friends of mine. I love you, but go eat a chocolate or pizza or both.

The average traveller

You will find many glorious travel blogs and sites of the most beautiful resorts around the globe. You can find lists of what to pack in matching luggage. Gosh, the world is full of travel bloggers who take amazing photos that leave you wanting to up and leave your day job and travel the world. I am not that travel blogger. I live to travel and discover new places. Sometimes that includes places right down the road. Sometimes it involves a long haul flight or two. I am average. I travel on an average budget, I travel with average luggage and gadgets but I tell extraordinary stories.
